After another two days, Ikki and Leo Lu slept until noon on the third day, when they were lazily woken up by Yukino. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Really, even if you're going on a trip again, you can't be so excited that you don't sleep all night, right?"

She looked at the two children who were sleeping crookedly on the bed, and said to herself with a smile: "Yihui, it's really your blessing to meet such a wonderful partner......

Leo Lu said that the elf's physique is superior to that of humans, not to mention that he is not a guy who likes to lie in bed in the first place, Xue Nai woke up as soon as he screamed, and slowly walked towards the bathroom. As for Kazuki, he really won't wake up in a while.

Crawling up to the pool in a daze, unscrewing the faucet with his paws, picking up a handful of cold water and throwing it on his face, he shivered uncontrollably.

'This time it's the Orange Islands...... I think I'll have to walk a long way by water......

Looking at himself in the mirror on the wall, Leolu patted his cheek with his paw again.

The defeat of the quartz tournament made him realize that his strength was still very weak, and although the group of friends in the forest next to the city that he hadn't seen for a long time were still not his opponents, it was not easy to say if the opponent was a trainer.

After a pause, Leo Lu took the towel that Xue Nai had specially prepared for him from the shelf next to him to dry off the remaining water droplets on his body, hurriedly washed up, jumped off the pool and walked towards the restaurant.

"Yo, good morning Leolu, how was your sleep last night?"

Hai put down the newspaper in his hand and looked with interest at Leo Lu, who was standing on a stool and picking up bread and nibbling on it.

He glanced at him and nodded his head in thanks, and Leolu didn't stop what he was doing.

Kazuki and Yukino finally arrive at the restaurant, but looking at Ikki's state, Leolu thinks that it may not take long for him to fall asleep again.

In fact, this can't be completely blamed on Yihui, a large part of the responsibility is actually on Leolu. Because he was a little concerned, he asked Ikki to take out the map given by Oki and discuss it with Ikki until the early hours of the morning before going to bed.

However, he didn't let Kazuki know about Calest's note.

"Hai, don't stare at the newspaper anymore, hurry up and eat breakfast, this is a delicacy that I got up early in the morning and worked hard to make, because Yihui is going on a trip again, so I did it, if you don't eat it, there will be no more!"

"Really, I can't help you. “

Hai shook his head and smiled, tossed the newspaper aside and began to eat breakfast.

……

After packing up all their things, Kazuki and Leo Lu both put on their backpacks, said goodbye to Yukino and Umi, and set off on their way to Dr. Ohki's research institute.

"Huhu~ Speaking of which, it seems to be the same for the first time I went on a trip, right? “

Ikki stretched his waist and said to Leo Lu, who was walking beside him.

"yes, it always feels like there's a lot going on, and this trip should be just as interesting, right?"

In order to better adapt to this golden state, Leolu simply asked Ikki to keep him like this during this time. Anyway, I don't know anyone, and it doesn't matter if it's different or not. However, it should be canceled when it comes to Dr. Ohki, so as not to be studied and observed for a long time......

A few days ago, Oki asked him for all the elves, saying that he wanted to observe them. Anyway, Ikki didn't teleport the elves back once, and he couldn't help it, so he took this opportunity to leave all at once and study it all happily.

The newborn elf was also thrown to Oki, and Ikki took the opportunity to ask him to help investigate the information about the elf.

But because he didn't have a Poke Ball on his body, he had to walk to the institute if he wanted to.

The journey was long, and Leo and Kazuki didn't arrive at the entrance of the institute until the afternoon.

"Alright, looks like you're ready, wait a little longer and you're ready to go. “

Oki returned all of Kazuki's things to him, brought him a stool from the side, and ran to the computer to type in the complicated code.

"Wait, we'll be ready to go in the evening. “

At this moment, a person walked out of the room behind him, wearing a marked fuchsia uniform and fluffy dark green curls like kelp, all of which showed his identity.

"Dr. Zhenghui......"

"Well, good morning Ikki. “

At that time, when he saw that the person who was going to go to the Orange Islands with him was actually Zhenghui, Leo Lu was really surprised. If only he was fine, but his purpose made people a little concerned.

"There are rumors near the Orange Islands that some people have seen the guardian spirits there, the flame birds, the lightning birds, and the frozen birds, so all we have to do is to observe, if we can meet the legendary elves, we must be able to collect a lot of research materials, right? “

That's what he said at the time, and Leolu couldn't refute it, anyway, the current situation wasn't too much of a problem, so let's just take it one step at a time.

However, Leolu's motivation for doing this research is still unclear.

Why did you suddenly decide to study these three birds? Haven't any researchers done it before?

These three birds, as the legendary spirits, are the only three sacred birds that have been confirmed to exist and have been confirmed by humans. Rumors from the Orange Islands have been heard even in the Kanto area, and the photos taken by people have proved it.

Now, the two guys are talking to Ikki about some travel precautions and how to operate the tools, Leo Lu is left aside, and there is no way to communicate with Ikki, let alone learn more about the situation.

"The Orange Islands also have alliance gyms, do you want to challenge them along the way?"

Masaki suggested to Ikki, and pulled up a map of the Orange Islands from another computer, which was clearly marked with several dojos.

But Ikki hesitated. He is not a hot-blooded fool like Ash, he wants to challenge when he sees the gym, and he also has his own plans.

"Forget it, I think this trip should be treated as a simple trip, although I don't know the specific situation, but there are many areas of the alliance's gyms, so it's time to challenge again. Kazuki looked at Leo Road with some concern, "I do this...... You wouldn't object to it, would you?"

If you don't challenge the gym, you won't be able to satisfy Leolu's desire to become stronger. So he fears that Leolu might refuse and leave him.

But after all, this is not possible.

It just so happened that he also seized this opportunity, and quickly grabbed Ikki's sleeve and ran out. Zhenghui and Da Mu, who were watching, could only smile helplessly.

"That elf named Leolu is pretty surprising, isn't it, Masaki?"

Damu said to Zhenghui with some smugness. Anyway, Ikki is a trainer who came out of him, and it is inevitable that he wants to show off.

But Zhenghui put away his smile and looked out of the door blankly: "It's really surprising, but ...... I always felt that something was not right......"

"Gee, I must be overthinking it. You haven't been out for so long, but you didn't expect to start getting suspicious, hahaha. “

Sighing, Zhenghui turned to the computer again: "Maybe I'm overthinking......"

After Leo Lu pulled Kazuki outside, he immediately picked up a branch from the ground and wrote something.

[I can't read your thoughts, but I can guess them...... If you want to challenge the gym, you don't have to worry about the quartz tournament all the time. ］

"But...... I really don't know what to do right now......"

Kazuki crouched down, his fingers scratching the ground across the branches.

[It's nothing, everyone will have a period of confusion, and there is no need to care about it at all.] ］

“…… Can I really do it? Honestly, I'm a little scared right now......"

[Then I'll ask you this: Do you remember your dreams?]

Kazuki nodded: "Well, I want to be the strongest trainer......"

As he spoke, Leolu suddenly tapped him on the head with a branch in his hand.

[Isn't that enough, what are you bothering about? It's just a small loss, and besides, it's my fault, and you don't have to be responsible for it.] I will help you, and I will make progress with you, and the next time you are confused, just think about your original intention, and think about the reason why you came out to travel. As for the rest of the burden, your elves and I will carry it for you. ］

The relationship between the fire dinosaur and Kazuki has become unfriendly since he evolved, and if he doesn't continue to challenge the gym, then the relationship between the two of them will become more and more strained, which will be fatal for the trainer. If even his own Initial Elf hates him, then Kazuki may lose his qualification as a trainer, and the word dream will become illusory.

The current fire dinosaur has no resemblance to Ikki's personality at all, almost the opposite......

"Hmm...... I'll give it a try......"

Leo Lu hit him on the head again, this time with much more force than the last time, and the painful Yihui sat down on the ground all at once.

[Forget it, think about it yourself, it's up to you to decide whether to go with the flow or try to chase your ideals.] ］

Leolu threw away the branch and turned to run towards Dr. Oki's huge backyard.

Kazuki stared blankly at the branch lying on the ground, and after a long time, he stood up abruptly and muttered to himself in the direction Leo Lu left, "I understand......"

Leo Road didn't go far, and as soon as he climbed out of the fence into the backyard, he sat down against the fence.

I'm embarrassed to talk about ideals...... How ironic...... Let's hope Ikki gets his wish......

The preparations went on for a long time, and it was almost late in the evening. After Kazuki and Masaki found Leo Road from the courtyard, they were ready to go.

Leo Lu was lying on Ikki's shoulder, but Ikki didn't talk to him, so he had to sigh and start to close his eyes.

'Another trip, let's change your mood and go...... This time, something has to change!'

As everyone knows, Ikki thinks so too.

Now their goal is the dock that stretches out to sea, where Nazi will meet them.

And that's it, the trip to the Orange Islands has finally officially begun!
